Lonnie,

OK, having done some research I have some information from Bert Kinney Tues,
Sep 25 2001 and PCForrest Fri, Jul 20 2001.

Several apps have been known to leave a "folder" in
My Computer after uninstalling. It may be a NameSpace item.

It may be a namespace item rather than a folder so you can't delete it in
the normal sense. However, you can remove it from the registry - which is
where it originates.

Open the Registry Editor...
Start | Run | Type: regedit | Click OK |
Navigate to this key...
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace

1. Right click on the NameSpace folder in the left hand pane and click on
Export.
2. Export Registry File dialog should open.
3. Click on the Desktop icon on the Places Bar (the left hand pane).
4. Type: NameSpace in the File name box.
5. Click On the Save as type V button.
6. Select Text Files (*.txt).
7. Click the Save button.
8. Close the Registry Editor.
9. Locate NameSpace.txt on your Desktop and double click it.
10. Hit Ctrl + A to select all of the text.
11. Hit Ctrl + C to copy all of the text.
12. Paste that text into a message and post back.

If somehow NameSpace got saved as NameSpace.reg, right click it and rename
it to NameSpace.txt and click YES to the prompt that pops up.

We'll see if there is something with No Name that can be deleted.

There may be more than one <NO NAME> entries, some should NOT be deleted.

There will be several CLSIDs, like {21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}
for example, which is the Control Panel.

Post back and we'll figure out which CLSID to get rid of.

Lonnie <Lonnie@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> hunted and pecked:
By the way, is there a way to get access to "My Computer" folder via Dos
prompt? I've actually had this type of problem before in older versions
of Windows and took care of it by rebooting in safe mode with dos and
getting rid of it that way. I can't seem to find this folder in dos. Is
it possible?

Hey Plato, thanks for the reply. None of that worked for me. The
problem lies within "My Computer", and that could be why it didn't work,
not sure. There is not even an option to delete. I can't highlight it
and use the delete key either. I hate it, but it looks like I'll just
have to start fresh, as I don't want it to cause a problem later down
the road.
